Dallas Arts District Changing Perspectives Block Party is a family-friendly event celebrating Dallas Arts Month. The highlight is a trio of 23-foot-high birdlike creation that comes to life on the streets of the Dallas Arts District. There’s a lot more, too – performances, art installations, an onsite muralist – and, of course, food trucks. The fun takes place in and around Sammons Park; you can walk from Pearl/Arts District Station, served by all four DART Rail lines. The M-Line trolley also stops close by.

Music on Main is Irving’s free concert series in the heart of the city’s historic downtown. This Friday, catch Mike Donnell, a Texas-bred musician know for his energetic performances and first-rate musicianship. The performance takes place in Heritage Park, just a couple of blocks from Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing Station on the Trinity Railway Express (TRE).

Orígenes/Origins tells the story of a Latin American teenager sent by her family to live with her father in the United States. She creates a new identity in her new country, while still remembering her origins.

The play opens Saturday night and runs through April 30 at the Latin American Cultural Center, just down the street from Deep Ellum Station on the Green Line.

Denton Drive Live is back, and this Saturday night you can enjoy the classic-rock twofer of ZZ Tex and Seger System, accomplished tribute bands that pay homage to ZZ Top and Bob Seger. It happens at The Grove at Mustang Station, walkable from Farmers Branch Station on the Green Line.
